unIronically the ottomans like seriously with this song alone i can imagine a massive army marching and singing from Istanbul or Jerusalem to crush some far off threat
La Victoire est a Nous has been my favorite ever since seeing the Old Guard advance to it in the old Waterloo film. Powerful af cadence.

mehter is bae
France and Germany
Prussians and French
ill never get the autism that were line battles
>alright so we got numerical superiority and muskets so we can just out gun then and pick them off from afar...
>nah m8 fuckin charge em
>ok a bit direct but i suppose we can overwhelm them before...
>also i wanna hear some fuckin british grendiers so were gonna walk there
>... COMPANY FOWARD
Because real life in not a video game. Taking just one volley from the enemy and then quickly crushing them will end fight with
drastically less casualties on your side.
That's first thing. Second one is how unreliable and ineffective were ranged weapons to actually decide a battle. It only changed in 20th century, and even first and second WW saw a lot of melee fighting.
ok what justification is there to walk instead of run towards the enemy line? the french were able to get a full volley off which seemigly decimated the british which would give the french a much better chance of repelling them no?
Easier to keep formation, and running get's you tired. After all, no matter if you are running or walking, enemy will do only one volley.
>the french were able to get a full volley off which seemigly decimated the british
Did they? Movie is not a great way to represent or simulate real battle casualties. I think I saw a movie, where on the screen from just one volley died more men, than in real battle during whole battle.
Ah, and don't forget, that seemingly decimated British can now fire their own volley on "point blank" distance.
I like this one too much

Eeerika!
G*rman ones, hands down. Though I do like the French Foreign Legion's Le Boudin and France's La Victoire est a Nous.
Mehter is by far the most unique marching tradition in the world. Wish Turks didn't adopt meme Western Marching Band.
Not exactly a marching song, but boy I love this tune

This one has an interesting story. It was created in the 30s by the Condor Legion under the name "Parademarsch der Legion Condor". Later it was adopted by the SS on the East Front (called then "SS marschiert in Feindesland") and became popular among the foreign divisions, notably the Division Charlemagne and the Eastland division ("Pataljon Narwa Laul"). After the war a lot of these peaceful men ended up in the French Foreign Legion and naturally they adapted these march in French, where it became "Le Diable marche avec nous" (the Devil walks with us). It is still in use nowadays in the 2èREP, in other regiments with different lyrics, and is even used by the Pompiers de Paris (firemen)...

>of all the marching music in the world... he picked the lolomans
*conquers your Balkans
German SS and wehrmacht marching somgs and many prussian songs.
10/10
>Strictly MARSHING music
Germany/Prussia
>Millitary-related songs in general
Russia/USSR
Partisan Song beats best German songs like Erika or Teufelslied, but is worse for marching.
>your history is effectively your relation with the Ottomans and the consequences of it hence for 5 centuries
>you don't adopt this
>no one posts Russian marches
Fucking plebeians.

With the exception of the last, Cossack one, the Red Army stuff is hardly marching songs - you need an orchestra and at least half a choir to do them.
They ain't bad ditties, but they do not fit the bill.
The point of a marching song is it makes marching long distances easier.
All of these are marching songs though.

That's pretty awesome.
iirc ottomans were the ones who invented military marching bands as a way of intimidation which was then adopted by europeans after the sieges of vienna. cf. also mozart's rondo alla turca which is inspired by the sound of turkish marching bands in the distance, and then suddenly appearing somewhere very close

If we're going by strictly parade music, I quite like some of my native country's:

Most of them cannot be performed by enlisted men, and the rhythm does not fit marching.
They're nice sounding patriotic songs that have their use, marching is not one of them.

The first link was meant to be this.

The segment between 0:00 and 2:00 is a perfect example of how a marching song (in this case a folk song) works - in tune with step rhythm.
Nobody posting Sousa?
Just remember that the general who ordered his men into that line was smarter than you, knew war better than you, and was playing to win the battle. Everything those armies did, they did because it was the most effective strategy they had available.
Those are not ottoman soldiers, those are the austrian men sended to help them marching up Mount Zion in 1916
Deutschbags, hands down, with French a close second.
This is pretty cool.
jesus christ this answer took long
>sended
France or Austria. French marches and chansons are great. Austrian and Hungarian marches are underrated as fuck.
waterloo's score was fantastic

(yes I know some of these aren't march or military versions, it's just the only ones I could find because jewtube took down some old ones, particularly the march of turenne)
>alright so we got numerical superiority
don't forget.. musical superiority
V PUT, V PUT!
This is unironically my favorite song to listen to while driving.
